Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
Give thanks to YHWH—call on His Name, Make His acts known among the peoples.
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
Sing to Him—sing praise to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
3 Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking YHWH rejoices.
4 Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
Seek YHWH and His strength, Seek His face continually.
5 Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
6 you descendants of Abraham his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
He [is] our God YHWH, His judgments [are] in all the earth.
8 He keeps in mind his covenant forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
He has remembered His covenant for all time, The word He commanded to one thousand generations,
9 He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham and his oath to Isaac.
That He has made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10 This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
And establishes it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel—a perpetual covenant,
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
Saying, “I give the land of Canaan to you, The portion of your inheritance,”
12 He said this when they were only few in number, so very few, and were strangers in the land.
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13 They went from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another.
And they go up and down, from nation to nation, From a kingdom to another people.
14 He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he rebuked kings for their sakes.
He has not permitted any to oppress them And He reproves kings for their sakes.
15 He said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
“Do not strike against My anointed, And do no evil to My prophets.”
16 He called for a famine on the land; he cut off the whole supply of bread.
And He calls a famine on the land, He has broken the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a servant.
He has sent a man before them, Joseph has been sold for a servant.
18 His feet were bound by shackles; on his neck was put an iron collar,
They have afflicted his feet with chains, Iron has entered his soul,
19 until what he had said came to pass. The word of Yahweh tested him.
Until the time of the coming of His word The saying of YHWH has tried him.
20 The king sent servants to release him; the ruler of the people set him free.
The king has sent, and looses him, The ruler of the peoples, and draws him out.
21 He put him in charge of his house as ruler of all his possessions
He has made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22 to instruct his princes as he wished and to teach his elders wisdom.
To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And he makes his elderly wise.
23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham.
And Israel comes into Egypt, And Jacob has sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 Yahweh made his people fruitful, and made them stronger than their enemies.
And He makes His people very fruitful, And makes it mightier than its adversaries.
25 He caused their enemies to hate his people, to mistreat his servants.
He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
He has sent His servant Moses, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
27 They performed his signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness and made that land dark, but its people did not obey his commands.
He has sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
29 He turned their water into blood and killed their fish.
He has turned their waters to blood, And puts their fish to death.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their rulers.
Their land has teemed [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats came throughout their country.
He has commanded, and the beetle comes, Lice into all their border.
32 He turned their rain into hail, with fire flaming on their land.
He has made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees; he broke the trees of their country.
And He strikes their vine and their fig, And shatters the trees of their border.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, so many locusts.
He has commanded, and the locust comes, And the cankerworm—innumerable,
35 The locusts ate up all of the vegetation in their land; They ate up all the crops of the ground.
And it consumes every herb in their land, And it consumes the fruit of their ground.
36 He killed every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
And He strikes every firstborn in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37 He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled on the way.
And brings them out with silver and gold, And there is not a feeble one in its tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they went away, for the Egyptians were afraid of them.
Egypt has rejoiced in their going forth, For their fear had fallen on them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering and made a fire to light up the night.
He has spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
40 The Israelites asked for food, and he brought quail and satisfied them with bread from heaven.
They have asked, and He brings quails, And satisfies them [with] bread of the heavens.
41 He split the rock, and waters gushed from it; they flowed in the wilderness like a river.
He has opened a rock, and waters flow, They have gone on in dry places—a river.
42 For he called to mind his holy promise that he made to Abraham his servant.
For He has remembered His holy word, With His servant Abraham,
43 He led his people out with joy, his chosen with shouts of triumph.
And He brings forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations; they took possession of the wealth of the peoples
And He gives to them the lands of nations, And they possess the labor of peoples,
45 so that they might keep his statutes and obey his laws. Praise Yahweh.
That they may observe His statutes, And may keep His laws. Praise YAH!
